🧠💬 Confused by the new NDIS support lists? You’re not alone.

The NDIS recently updated what they will and won’t fund — and let’s be honest… it’s a LOT to take in. 😅

✅ Daily personal supports? Covered.
✅ Home modifications? Yep.
✅ Help with your rent, groceries, or Netflix? ❌ Not so much.

If you’re not sure what counts as a reasonable & necessary support, or why some things get approved while others don’t… that’s where we come in.

👋 We’re KD Plan Management — and we’re here to help make sense of it all.

We’ll walk you through the difference between funded and non-funded supports, help you avoid NDIS knockbacks, and give you confidence in using your plan to its full potential.

📥 Got questions? Drop them in the comments or send us a message.
📲 Or tag someone who needs a hand navigating their NDIS budget — we’ve got them too.

Let’s make the NDIS feel a little more human 💙

NDIS FUNDING IS CHANGING FOR NEW PLANS FROM MONDAY 19 MAY 2025

If you’re getting a new or reassessed NDIS plan, your funding will now be released in smaller chunks over time instead of one big amount upfront.

Here’s what it means – made simple 👇

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗱𝘀?

Instead of getting your full budget on Day 1, your plan will now be split into “funding periods.”
Most supports (Core & Improved Daily Living) = released every 3 months
Home & Living supports = released monthly
Assistive Tech & Home Mods = released all at once

💡 Unused funds roll over into the next period.
But: They don’t roll into a new plan when your current one ends.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁?

Funding periods begin from your plan start date – not the start of the month.

🗓️ Example: Plan starts on 15 June? That’s when your first period begins.

📲 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗱𝘀?

✅ You (in the NDIS portal)
✅ Your Plan Manager
✅ Your approved Support Coordinator

❌ Other providers can’t see the breakdown.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗻𝗼𝘄?

Your Plan Manager can only claim supports within the current funding period.
If your service crosses over two periods?
➡️ Two claims are needed – one for each.

🚫 If a claim goes over the available budget, it will be rejected.
You can’t use future funds early, but you can use leftover funds that rolled over from a previous period.

🔁 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗱𝘀?

No – you can’t shift funds between periods.
If you need more flexibility, ask your “My NDIS Contact” for a plan variation or reassessment.

𝗜𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲?

Core supports = usually flexible (unless stated otherwise)

Capacity Building = can be flexible, but some (like Improved Daily Living) may be “stated” – check your plan!

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀?

Same rules apply – funding periods will affect all new plans, including for young children.

𝗔𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻?

If your plan was approved before 19 May 2025, this change doesn’t apply to you yet.

✅ What you should do now:

🗣️ 𝟭. 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴
Need more funds at the start (e.g. for equipment, Behaviour Support, or Support Coordination)?
Tell your planner and put it in writing. They can approve more funding upfront if there’s clear evidence.

📋 𝟮. 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀
Make sure your agreements match your funding periods – or you might end up with out-of-pocket costs.

📞 𝟯. 𝗔𝘀𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆
If things change, don’t wait until funding runs out. Request a reassessment early.
